Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS
Wiki.openoffice.org has this: The first step in sorting data is to select the data that you want to sort. To sort the data in Table 1, select the cells from A1 to G16—if you include the column headers, indicate this in the sort dialog. Use Data > Sort to open the Sort dialog. You can sort by up to three columns or rows at a time. the link is: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide On October 24, 2019 at 8:30:01 AM, John Clipper (clip...@casema.nl.invalid) wrote: how to sort data in Col A
Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS
In the Data drop down menu choose: 1) Define Range: give it a one word name, in the Range box specify the first and last cells 2) Select Range: choose a named range 3) Sort: Options tab—allows you to select options Sort Criteria—allows you to choose column(s) to sort on and order in each column If it produces something you don’t like go to Edit drop down and Undo Sort This may seem works for simple lists or multi column databases as long as you define the range correctly.

Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS
Do you want to sort data in column A -or- sort entire rows using column A to order the rows? The two operations produce different results. I posted a video on YouTube ages ago showing these operations. The interface is changed a bit since but the ideas, select what you want to sort, then sort, haven't changed. If you want a look, check here... Sorting a table in a spreadsheet, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjTgDyNqqQY If it doesn't address your issue, post back with a bit more detail.

Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS
Dear Alan and David, I finally got it. I highlighted all the rows by scrolling from top to bottom in col A. Row numbers were highlighted. Clicked on data-sort and voila, it worked.

Re: open office software SPREADSHEETS
Dear David, I have been to the link you provided via Google . No mention of SORT. Also I have never seen the TABLE 1 title appear on a spreadsheet. Perhaps it’s from an older version. I am now going to check out Alan’s utube presentation.
